We do ball-handling at the beginning of almost every practice but spending 20 min of my 2-2.5 hour practice on stationary is Fucking ludicrous😂.
Stationary ball handling should be part of the daily vitamins your team takes yearly
Spend 20 minutes at the beginning of every practice sharpening your handle
It’s amazing how many players actually get worse during the season

Respectfully disagree. Harder than ever for HS kids to get recruited with the transfer portal. Gotta do whatever you can. Never know who’s gonna see and like your video off a retweet. Everyone doesn’t have their coach working hard for them on that regard either.
Free advice…HS hoopers….we don’t need a new highlight tape from every week or “the first 10 games”…etc! If someone else makes one of you or you make one at the end of the season, ok-cool. No need for every week or “from the holiday tournament” Signed everyone in basketball!

Lot of kids don’t really understand what it takes to be great and reach the highest levels. My college and pro guys are all doing skill workouts 5-6 days a week, often multiple a day. Lifting 3-4 days a week. Getting shots up. And hooping in quality runs multiple days a week.

They also hit the genetic lottery 😂. And the literal lottery in terms of resources. Including access to elite training, coaching travel and hs teams and the knowledge their parents have

This list is exactly why teams have moved away from the midrange and towards the three point line. Great scorers most definitely still need it in their game but a 30% 3 point shooter is more efficient than all of them PPP wise.
Mid-Range shooting in the 2002-03 season:
Michael Jordan - 457/1056 (43.3%)
Tracy McGrady - 327/757 (43.2%)
Vince Carter - 161/383 (42%)
Kobe Bryant - 376/918 (41%)
Allen Iverson - 346/895 (38.7%)
Paul Pierce - 203/570 (35.6%)

If a kid doesn’t have any D1/D2 offers and thinks they’re too good for D3 have them come watch a CCIW game and ask them again if they’re too good. Most hs kids couldn’t contribute at this level of D3 or sniff PT

This might be one of the most legendary things ever. Hall of fame worthy
I just realized that when Dawn Staley was coaching at Temple, she was playing in the WNBA at the same time for 6yrs!
During that time she was a WNBA All Star 5 times, and Temple made the NCAA Tournament 4 times! That's crazy and its something that doesn't get referenced at all!

💯 do a great job with who’s in front of you. Trained my first NBA player last summer. The guy that referred him to me liked what he saw in how the young players I train that play on his sons team were developing.
The question I get the most from young basketball trainers -
“How do I get pro/NBA clients?”
The question I wish I got the most from young basketball trainers-
“What can I do to impact the clients I have more?”

Saying someone who shot 37% from the field and didn’t avg double digit points is the number 1 pg in the portal when Max Abmas & LJ Cryer exist is CRAZY
NEWS; Kerr Kriisa, the No. 1 point guard in the NCAA transfer portal, has committed to West Virginia, he told ESPN. Kriisa led the Pac-12 in assists while shooting 37% for 3 last season, helping Arizona win the Pac-12 tournament championship. Huge pickup for Bob Huggins.

His handle is functional as hell. Almost never gets ripped, runs a ton of ball screens at a high level, been a primary ball-handler for 20 years. Always crazy to me when people say he has no handle. Just doesn’t have wiggle

I mean there’s nothing wrong with saying layups, free throws and 3s are the most advantageous shots and should be hunted first and foremost. Midrange is just dead for role players not elite scorers. But should still not be the basis of an offense most of the time
Everyone jacking up threes and I get the analytics and what not…..blah blah blah……
But let it be noted that none of the Final Four teams are even in the Top 45 of three point FGA as a team!
